Worth looking at brand when shoping for 8800gts?

[Russell]

EVGA has the best reputation for these three important things: warranty, customer service, and reliability. The cards from company to company are basically the same (probably all manufacturered by the same manufacturer) but it's the support and the price that matter when it comes time to purchase.

Thanks for adding something new to this thread: outlining the distinction between manufacturers. You're 100% right, of course.

You sure haven't been here long but are quickly becoming an asset to have around. Thanks Buckeye
